Phoronix: Western Digital RE4 1TB SATA Enterprise HDD

Benchmarks up this afternoon are of a Western Digital RE4 WD1003FBYX, an internal enterprise hard drive, being tested from Ubuntu 13.04 with the Linux 3.8 kernel. This Linux disk drive comparison was done with an EXT4 file-system and other disk benchmarks are available from different solid-state and traditional rotating hard drives.

I wonder how dose it perform as a member of linux software raid?
Last time I used RE2 disks I had to replace them all with standard desktop edition.
All of them still work fine in windows, however they had a nasty habit to keep failing from MD mirror without any apparent reason.

Two 1TB WD1003FBYX hdds in linux software RAID-1, ext4 with default settings over LVM. Modern E3 xeon system. Tested with sysbench. You can use the commands below and sysbench to test your system for comparison.
